Reactive KYC

On-demand KYC investigations for counterparty and transaction verification. When a deal, charter, or transaction demands immediate due diligence, our Reactive KYC service delivers comprehensive counterparty analysis within the timeframes commercial reality requires.

Service Overview

Reactive KYC is designed for the moments compliance cannot wait. A counterparty appears mid-transaction. A charter fixture moves faster than your onboarding process. A beneficial ownership chain needs tracing before documents are signed. Our investigations draw on AML/CTF frameworks informed by FATF standards, enhanced due diligence methodologies, and deep understanding of maritime-specific risk indicators — because the people conducting your due diligence should understand the sector, not just the regulation.

Counterparty Verification

Comprehensive identity verification, beneficial ownership tracing, and sanctions screening for individuals and entities involved in maritime transactions. Each investigation produces a structured report suitable for your compliance records and regulator scrutiny.

Transaction Due Diligence

Pre-transaction risk assessment covering vessel history, flag state compliance, ownership structures, and jurisdictional exposure. Designed to identify red flags before they become regulatory problems, not after.

Enhanced Due Diligence

Deeper investigation for higher-risk counterparties, politically exposed persons, complex ownership structures, and transactions involving jurisdictions with elevated AML/CTF risk. Includes source-of-funds analysis where required.

Initiate an Investigation

Reactive KYC investigations are engaged on a per-matter basis. Turnaround is calibrated to the commercial timeline — because due diligence that arrives after the transaction closes is compliance theatre, not compliance.
